Is it true that autism is associated with an elevated risk of schizophrenia?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed items report shared genetic risk factors and pathways between autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia, including a significant genetic correlation and overlapping risk genes. None directly measures whether autism itself is associated with elevated risk of schizophrenia, so the evidence covers only a related biological overlap.
